Today, after months of begging, I finally convinced my friends to go skiing with me. On our first run I suggested a race. Everybody loved the idea. Good news: I came in first. Bad news: I tore a ligament in my knee. It will be operated on tomorrow. FML

Sure, going skiing was doing something with his friends. He had to "beg" his friends to go with him. But then he turned it into a competition and a race on their first run?

I've had "friends" like that in the past. Everything has to be a competition, if they win, they ruin the rest of the trip/day bragging about how they won. If they lose, then it was just a stupid competition that didn't mean anything. People stopped wanting to hang out with them because of it.

OP here. First things first: as I mentioned in another post this happened to a friend of mine not myself.

2. We went skiing together, we are good friends, we are all very good skiers and we were hyped up on the nice weather and the awesome conditions so she SUGGESTED a race.

We were all totally on board with the idea.

We are a close group of friends that are naturally competitive and she knows this. (And there is nothing wrong with that.) Anyways we do things like that all the time and in no way shape or form does she make EVERYTHING about winning.

It was just a nice idea she had that (unfortunately) backfired a bit....

It's so easy to judge and talk down to people if you don't have all the facts isn't it?? How about not assuming things?

And even if she is the competitive type (again there is nothing wrong with that) she doesn't deserve to have her ligament torn!!
